Скачать или смотреть Rugeley's Childhood Memories of WWII: Compilation

In September 2019, a Rugeley Intergenerational Project: Childhood Memories of World War II was launched at The Rose Theatre, Rugeley.

Young people from Rugeley, aged 11 to 17, had the unique opportunity to preserve precious memories of older residents that otherwise would be lost. They were trained in recording oral histories, interviewing, film making and editing. History was made during this important project as the volunteers brought ideas and skills to make this a once in a life-time affair. The filmed stories were surprising, frightening and amusing. The full exhibition will tour the libraries of Cannock Chase, the Museum of Cannock Chase, followed by other libraries around Staffordshire.

The Intergenerational venture was made possible thanks to a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant of £10,000.

This video compiles all of the interviews recorded over the summer of 2019, along with special features, such as an interpretation song recorded by one of our young volunteers, Anya Tregay, accompanied by a piece by the Brereton Scouts' Marching Band at the Brereton Carnival. The young volunteers that took part were also interviewed, giving an insight into their experiences and skills that they have acquired over the course of the project.
